Bradley stopped outside a house exhausted and climbed over the honeysuckle vine wall and landed effortlessly on the ground.
He looked around and sighed when he saw that there was no one around. He made his way to a window that he was familiar with.
He knocked on the window and hid away. Soon the door opened and a boy with blond hair and green eyes opened it.
Bradley popped up from nowhere greeting, “Hey!”
The boy yelped and stepped back shocked, “Bradley what are you doing here?”
Bradley climbed through the window and closed it. He turned are to him and said, “I missed you?”
“But you were here just yesterday,” he said with a huff and turned around. He could feel that he was
If you did not know, children weren't treated like children.
Terrance followed behind Alice who leads him through the garden where they saw Shawn running after Bradley who was laughing at the top of his lungs as he enjoyed being chased by his uncle.Shawn reached him and scooped Bradley up in his arms and threw him up in the air. When Bradley came down, Shawn dropped to the ground with him and they started rolling around.Alice chuckled and asked with a shake of her head, “What are you doing to my child?”Shawn stopped and looked over at her and saw Terrance behind her. He got up with Bradley following him. Bradley suddenly felt horrible for having fun with his uncle especially because he knew that he needed to be a leader one day.“Showing him that there is more to life than be an arsehole,” Shawn answered
“No, I, I, I messed up. I said I would never but I did and I feel so bad, I betrayed you, Shawn,” Aldridge continued to cry.Shawn ran his hand through Aldridge’s hair out of habit as he asked, “What did you do?”But Aldridge could not answer, he did not want to tell Shawn of his shameful acts and just cried his heart out until he fell asleep in Shawn's arms and the pain and exhaustion of overthinking and hiding away made him cave in.After lying Aldridge down in bed and covering him. Shawn went to see if the guests were still here but they had left and he was very happy that they were not around especially because they were not the crowd he was used to with their royal noses in the air. He looked at the leftover sandwiches that were going
Aldridge immediately pulled back and looked down at Shawn’s lying figure. His heart was beating erratically as he stared on dumbfounded at what he could make out of Shawn's face. His mind started racing as anxiety built up in his system and the tears flooded his eyes along with his erratically beating heart.He did not know where to start and wished that he was the one to have explained his actions to him but now what was he to do and he knew for a fact that what Shawn heard must have been from Mr Wright's mouth who knew somewhat of the truth but then again, what was the actual truth?“Shawn I…” He started but was cut off by Shawn who flung the sheets off of him and sat up on the bed with a glare on his tired face.Shawn stood up and turned around to face Aldridge in the dark, “Aldridg
Aldridge woke up feeling groggy and dehydrated. He had been crying all night and as loud as he cried calling for help, Shawn did not come in to comfort him which made him feel even worse about what he did and going as far as thinking he deserved all of this after not consideration how Shawn would feel.Aldridge looked around the chamber and saw that he was not in his chamber but in Shawn’s chamber that they barely used but he clearly recalled Shawn leaving to this chamber last night and him falling asleep in his own.He moved the comforter off of him and heard a clank. He did not take it to mind and climbed off the bed but heard an even louder clank as something hit the floor. He looked down to where he heard the sound come from and his eyes widened in horror.His left foot had a shackle clamped to it wi
Shawn returned late in the morning to the estate tired and when he opened the door to the chamber Aldridge was being served lunch. Aldridge had the fork in his mouth and gasped as he saw Shawn standing at the door looking at him and immediately wanted to say something but he cowered and remained silent looking down at his plate of food with tears swimming in his eyes.Shawn walked over to the table and sat opposite him and stared at Aldridge who kept his gaze lowered. His brows knitted, Aldridge was showing him a submissive side of him that he was not happy seeing -- the Aldridge he knew and loved was stronger than this.Loved? Shawn scoffed at the thought.Sighing inwardly, he rubbed his temples changing his mind about teaching his prince a lesson he wouldn’t for
Three days later... The Majordomo rushed to the front door and opened it after hearing continuous banging as if an army was at the door. He stared at the person who was banging on it and her face was fuming, “How dare you take forever to answer! Where is that bastard of my fathers?” Princess Blanche demanded as she walked past him, purposely bumping her shoulder into him. The Majordomo’s eyes darted around the front of the estate then he closed the door, “My Lady, Prince Aldridge is in no state to see anyone.” Princess Blanche stopped in her steps and glared at him as she asked, “No state? Even if he dies, he needs to fulfil his royal duties, why must I do it?” She walked off through the estate yelling Aldridge’s name with the Majordomo following behind her
Princess Blanche stalked through the castle to her father’s chamber with raging anger.The doors swung open and his majesty who was frolicking with a servant shot up from his bed.He glared at Blanche who just walked in and said, “Father, that bastard son of yours and his servants should be beheaded!”The king sat up on his knees and threw a pillow at her and yelled, “Do you not know about knocking?”The pillow hit her square in the face, hurting her. Blanche stared at her father and did not expect to walk in on him cheating on her mother and glared at the servant.Said servant quickly pulled the sheets to herself and Blanche saw that she was not much younger than her.
The gentlemen stared at Shawn who asked them this and wondered if they should answer him and just as Lestor was about to, Aldridge walked in with a yell, “Shawn where the hell are you!”Shawn ran his hand over his face and heard Mr Wright say as he ran after Aldridge, “My lord you cannot. Lord Shawn has ordered me to get you to your chamber, dinner will be served soon.”“No, no, no, I want to see Shawn now, he can’t get away from me so easily. SHAWN SHOW YOUR FACE NOW!” Aldridge yelled and as he passed the living room, he saw something from the corner of his eye and stopped. He turned to look at what it was and saw his friends there and the back of Shawn’s head.“What are you all doing here?” He asked as he walked over and slapped Shawn on the back of his n
